Cabanon and Mountains by Jeannette Johnston



Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
16" x 13" / 6F
€90

This painting is of a  provencal cabanon surrounded by vineyards, cypresses an olive trees. The stone built cabanon (meaning little cabin) is typical of Provence and the neighbouring Languedoc Roussillon. At one time they were used by the shepherds for resting in, particularly during the transhumance when the sheep and goats were moved from their winter quarters in the valleys to higher slopes.
